Fourteen days in the past on NSFW Sunday
we talked-about just what lesbians you shouldn’t discuss whenever they discuss gender
AND YOU each HAD SOME FEELINGS.

Several days ahead of the above mentioned blog post we’d began an ‘anonymous google doc’ whereby Autostraddle team members asked their very own questions and offered unique answers in order for we’re able to ‘determine’ what folks ‘want to talk about.’

These days we continue in that mission.
A week ago we spoken of moisture & orgasms
and plenty of you finished up discussing yet another thing that people’d discussed from inside the sex doc! Very, this week why don’t we see that’s above who’s on base today?

Exactly what do you imagine tends to make some body a top or


a bottom? Would you hate those label


s? would you establish by them, also vaguely?

* Really don’t. They don’t really define me personally or my personal lover. In case they work for others, fair sufficient.

* My sole issue making use of top/bottom thing is actually just how men and women believe you’re one or even the different due to stereotyped features, for example. “wears most wifebeaters” or “long hair.”

* I’ve become extremely toppy within the last few couple of years. And I love ladies who i’d like to finest them. But Really don’t think I’d enjoying topping anyone who was not somehow subversive. I think the primary reason top-bottom dynamics in queer relationship tend to be hot is actually properly for that reason component of subversion plus consent. I peak ladies maybe not because I were created with a specific pair of trash but because they I want to “perform” (in a Judith Butler kind of method) a specific way in bed/life together.

* we used to discover this framing difficult but recently I feel that I’ve identified a lot more with being a bottom  or simply just REALLY liking in order to get fucked. Which can make myself feel kind of like a lazy lover, even though i am aware I am not.

* I never ever decided this but recently I’ve been willing to be much more toppy.

* i love becoming a high, bottom part, sideways, ugly, standing whatever you should not confine us to labels!

* we used to consider ‘top’ equated to: ‘i actually do all of the work/fucking’. And so I identified as a leading until we realized its fun to modify it up — that this is among the a lot of things that makes lesbian relationships/sex interesting. I have something about control, and that I prefer to get it, and I can hold myself personally upwards longer than you, which means this might make me default top. THAT’S WHAT I WILL BE: standard top. Until somebody changes it up, that I have always been entirely down for.

* we turn based on exactly who i am with. I am able to become more aggressive or submissive dependent on exactly what the scenario calls for.

* I  think I really like playing with energy and may perform in either case. I like clothes exactly who effortlessly give up get a grip on considering the alternative. I will picture being either/or, according to just what my companion loves, im versatile. I really was versatile though, like bendable.

* POWERBOTTOM

* POWERRRRBARRRRRRRRR

* I as soon as thought i did not such as tags, and then i believe I want to end up being a bottom for a while. I’m tired.

* a buddy requested me personally basically wished to

screw

Shane or wanted to

be

Shane and I mentioned I would never spoke

* I don’t really have them. Occasionally I’m lying down getting a “bottom” and a girl is on top of myself and that I’m still banging her or ‘doing every work’ however actually? ‘Cause girls will go their own sides often and I also believe’s work. And let’s say you’re being sneaky and place your hands down her pants while she actually is preparing supper or something like that, WHO IS ON TOP THEN??

It isn’t ostensibly queer, or queer whatsoever really, but it’s somehow in addition a thing:

with a hanky code
, as Autostraddle sealed briefly in a manner article
not long ago:

Sugarbutch tries to
Describe Butch in the Streets, Femme within the Sheets
: ”

I ran across the expression “butch in the roadways, femme inside sheets” (once more) yesterday, therefore bothered me (once again, however). Thus I started considering: It typically indicates – and correct me personally easily’m wrong – that the supposed “butch in streets,” when taken fully to sleep, appreciated to or desired to get banged. This might be functioning on an identity alignment expectation: that butches are tops. This idea comes from traditional sexism: that if you tend to be men – or masculine – that for that reason you might be dominant.”

Throughout the contrary region of the internet,
